Raphaël Lartot

Bio

Raphaël Lartot is a Research Engineer at Inria Nancy – Grand Est (HUCEBOT team), specializing in the design of active upper-limb exoskeletons for assistive robotics. With a multidisciplinary background in robotics and biomedical engineering, his work combines mechatronic design with human-robot interaction assessment.

Since joining Inria in December 2020, he has developed real-time human motion prediction algorithms in C++ based on ProMPs (Probabilistic Movement Primitives), in collaboration with industrial partners such as Safran Electronics & Defense and Kompaï Robotics. This project aimed at implementing advanced control solutions for internal prototypes. Since October 2024, Raphaël has focused primarily on the mechatronic design of active exoskeletons, integrating mechanical, electronic, and software components, in close collaboration with Raphaël Bousigues, Alexandre Oliveira-Souza, and Anna Bucchieri.

Raphaël holds a Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation from Télécom Physique Strasbourg and an Engineering degree in Mechatronics from INSA Strasbourg, both obtained in 2020. He also earned a degree in Biomedical Engineering from ISIFC in 2018, as well as a Master’s degree in Microsystems, Instrumentation, and Robotics from the University of Franche-Comté, also completed in 2018.
